The Grand is overpriced for the quality of the hotel room provided. We stayed in a Standard room and it was small and worn down. We stayed also at a nearby hotel for about the same price, and that hotel, Horseguard, was twice the size and was of higher quality. The staff service was also by far more superior. I’ll never stay at the Grand again.

This is a great "old school" hotel in a great location right off Trafalgar and very close to the Embankment underground stop. 15 minute walk to Parliament/Westminster, About 25-30 min walk to British Museum. Short walk to many pubs, theaters and Covent Garden. Stayed 4 nights. Classic lobby and bar. Did not eat there, so no info on food. Rooms are somewhat small but comfortable; bed and shower updated recently. Housekeeping staff responsive and courteous. Front desk, especially Nalin, very professional and personable. After an all night flight he welcomed us like we were old friends, helped us to store luggage and showed us where the guests only coffee lounge was located before making a couple of suggestions for an afternoon stroll. We would definitely stay at the Grand again.

Great location. Walkable to many sites and close to bus and subway. Only negative is in our room the mattress for the bed and pull out both need to be replaced as they sunk in. There is a tesco (convenient store) on the corner so it was nice for drinks and snacks brought back to the room

Location is excellent! Room was clean and adequate. But you’re not there to stay in your room. The bar was big and the staff was very nice. They have a nice big living room type room with business area and sitting areas for people to enjoy self service coffee or tea and work or wait for people anytime of the day. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location for visitors wishing to see major sights or for locals spend weekend in town for shows, restaurants etc. For those able to walk 30 minutes I'd estimate 75% of major London attractions are in range. Otherwise multiple Rail, Tube, Taxi, bus options are 5 minutes away. There are a lot of Hotel options in this area. Many are considerably higher rate with different experiences. If you want a clean comfortable room, with the typical facilities you'd expect at a reasonable rate (for central London) and being in town, who you're with and what you do are stars of your trip, this could be a great option for you. If you want your hotel to take a higher role you can get better experience nearby but at higher cost. I was overall happy with stay but couldn't give 5 star review as the glass in the window of my room was broken and repaired by plastic film. (this may have been temporary repair but I can only rate what I see). In summary good place to stay, pleasant staff but lightly staffed, good value if you get a reasonable rate
